Australia skilled visa steps

Start with the occupation. Calculate points after that.

A high points estimate is not enough. The occupation, skills assessment, Expression of Interest and state or territory rules must also fit.

01

1. Match the occupation

Compare your education and work duties with an occupation assessed by the correct authority.

  • A job title alone is not enough.
  • Your duties and documents must support the occupation.
02

2. Complete the skills assessment

Prepare the qualification, employment and identity records required by the assessing authority.

  • Authorities have different evidence rules.
  • A positive assessment is usually needed before the next stage.
03

3. Calculate points and English

Age, English, qualifications, experience, partner and nomination factors can affect the total.

  • The minimum points threshold does not guarantee an invitation.
  • Documents must support every point claimed.
04

4. Expression of Interest and nomination

Choose between independent, state-nominated and regional options based on the profile and current invitation settings.

  • State and territory criteria are not identical.
  • Keep evidence current while waiting for an invitation.
05

5. Visa application

After an invitation, submit the visa evidence and complete the checks requested by the Australian authority.

  • The application must match the EOI claims.
  • Health, character and family documents may be required.

Frequently asked questions

Australia Skilled Migration: clear answers before you begin.

Requirements, terms and processing can change. Check the current issuer or authority instructions before you submit or purchase.

What are subclasses 189, 190 and 491?

Subclass 189 is an independent skilled route, 190 is state or territory nominated, and 491 is a regional provisional skilled route. Each has its own criteria and invitation settings.

Do I need a skills assessment?

Most skilled migration applicants need a suitable assessment from the authority responsible for the nominated occupation. The evidence rules differ by authority.

Is 65 points enough?

A points threshold is not an invitation guarantee. Competitive scores vary by occupation, visa category, state or territory and invitation round.

Can I apply without an English test?

The accepted English result and level depend on the route and points claimed. Check the current official requirements before relying on a score scenario.

Can my family be included?

Family members may be included in some applications, but the forms, evidence and health and character checks must reflect the family situation accurately.
